What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Cometborne]

Ran a VIP passenger mission with one of those "does not react well to danger, hull damage will drastically reduce passenger satisfaction" and "highly demanding" types in Cardea. Undocked, made the first jump, incoming message. Knew about the "just ignore the message" trick, but opened it anyway.

Guess what the dude wanted me to do? "I want to shake some hands in a combat zone". Destination system Azrael, time 2:38 minutes.

Whatever happened to "does not react well to danger"? And where is the "space this passenger now without the benefit of an escape pod to improve the gene pool" button?

At least he did not lay claim to the 59.000 credit combat bond I acquired to keep him happy...

And it is done

Congrats!

Spent the first 10 hours in my alt account (TGS Grey) hauling cargo, but I think without an appealing CG come this Wednesday I'm going to try my hand at combat in an Eagle (usually use an A spec Vulture on my primary)

Can you share the money among your alt accounts? How?

No, unless you happen to be able to run both at the same time and transfer cargo, but there is no credit transfer system.

I've been away from the game as I've had life, but I made it back to the bubble and my Explorer rank is now Pioneer.

Exploring is definitely a decent way to make money now, especially for newer players who maybe have just enough for a Cobra plus a Detailed Surface Scanner. Those with bigger ships can still make a lot more with cargo runs.

I disagree.
Exploration is still in need of a huge boost.
But a bump in pay wouldnt be enough, it needs a complete redesign and fleshing out.
Current mechanic barely reach placeholder status in my opinion.

Having started a second acount and doing the whole starting out thing all over again.

Just by picking missions for data scans, skimmer kills, cargo runs and of course picking up platinum, taffetite etc from surface poi's.

Even if you just have a stock sidey you would have a million or two within a few hours.
And thats without stacking, cycling or anything i would consider close to grinding.

After about 40 hours of total play on that account he has a mostly A rated vulture, a fully a rated cobra. The credits are about to start rolling in.

I never said it's the "best way" to make money. I said it is a way to make money, whereas before, you couldn't.

E.g., just having detailed surface scanner in a single system that is inside the bubble can now net 1-2M credits, and the near half-dozen well documented systems in the bubble nearly 10M.

I'm currently sitting at a station bar, downing some vodka after having my first experience with Reboot & Repair.

After multiple stupid mistakes, I found my Python floating about 12 km above the surface of some nameless, airless moon. I had a hold full of Gold, Silver, and Palladium. I also had 3% hull and my FSD & Thrusters were dead.

I knew in the back of my mind that there was a way to cannibalize some parts to repair others, but but while watching the altimeter start to accelerate toward zero, I couldn't figure it out. Thankfully the universe is willing to wait while I jumped over to Google and found out that R&R is located in the Functions menu, directly above Self Destruct.

The ship kept falling while its computer performed diagnosis & repair. I think it was down to about 5 or 6 km when it came back to life. I sheepishly headed back to a nearby station for real repairs. Naturally an Elite NPC tried to interdict me on the way, but he was apparently consumed by the moon's gravity well.

The NPC reappeared as I was entering the hangar at the station, and demanded 140K CR of my cargo. I politely declined.

Reboot & Repair changed a potential 8.9M CR rebuy into a 197K CR repair bill, which I paid gladly.

Cool! I did not know that. Thanks for sharing and go easy on that Vodka
